Very good description!!
Yes, the bulk of the population is like you described.
The area recived some Spanish and Italian immigrants after 1870 and a few polish and germans too…
But the biggest background is the colonial stock, mainly iberian with different degrees of mixture with guarani and mocoreta amerindians.
